Separating School and Religion

We promote a well-founded philosophical education and demand a clear separation between religion and schools. The interest in scientific approaches and empirical insights should be promoted and strengthened.

During the past few years, the Christian faith as part of our cultural and value system has consistently lost relevance. The number of people without a confession keeps increasing. By way of migration, believers from different religions keep arriving in Switzerland. The current law on compulsory schooling demands that this diversity is treated in a strictly neutral manner. See this seminal Federal Court judgement on the Cadro case.
